No, not caliber as in bullets, although that could be fun, too. Have you see those 50 caliber kind? They’re huge! But, I digress.

I hope to be a high caliber person. It’s a goal. I often think that sometimes some people people are just born as high caliber people. They seem to have some innate sense of dignity and honor. Other times, I think that all people have the capacity to be high caliber and that some just choose not to be. Sometimes I think some people are just born broken, other times I think there was an event or circumstance that broke them.

There’s a little riddle my husband likes to use, it goes, “If a man steals a horse, does that make him a horse thief or prove him a horse thief?” Sometimes, watching people ponder this can be as telling as their answer.

High caliber people don’t steal horses.

I have a long way to go. I know this. I don’t know that I’ll ever get there, in fact I probably won’t, because who ever actually achieves that level? But I can try, and I will. Every day is a chance to be who I hope to be, to continue striving.

2018 NanoPoblano

My theme for this year’s NaBloPoMo (affectionately known as NanoPoblano) is Personal Mottos. I put this together last year for a future A-Z Blog Challenge, but ended up using something else for that, so I thought I would use it here instead. These are mottos which I try to live by, things which color my life and perspective on it. I chose a word a day (except for Sundays) because time is short, you’re busy trying to read other blogs too, and I didn’t want to take up too much of your time, which I thank you for sharing with me! ~Vanessa

This Month: November

The bright butter yellow glow of the chrysanthemum brings joy, light, and cheer to the dwindling days of November. Chosen because of the cheer and joy November birthdays bring throughout the year, the chrysanthemum’s color and perseverance are a beacon of happiness.
